I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Golden Corral in August 2017.

Interview

I applied online and got called for an interview a week later. I met with three managers and filled out an application. The interview was pretty easy although I kept getting interrupted by one of the managers talking to another. Asked me to call them back in two weeks.
